Hello,

In another Friday Art Thread, I drew the Pacific Body Shop Coupe, as it had a cool look with the top chop and rounded nose. I ran a colorization computer program on the black and white photo and it popped out yellow. (The green grass and blue sky seem to give it some real color) But, there are no official color photos of the coupe and push truck.

The Goodyear and Serpa “Pacific Auto Body” coupe with a 296” flathead. The team bought the car from Harry Duncan. Norm Grudem photo.


But a real life photo popped up in a very popular photo of the Harrell Engines Roadster at Lion’s Dragstrip between 1959-60.

There were some early drag racing photos in an old Drag News of the Pacific Body Shop Coupe racing at Santa Ana Dragstrip in 1955, but as scanning old newspapers go, the quality was not the best for a good reproduction photograph.

As artistic work goes the yellow color looks better, but if the actual photo is a good reproduction, then the coupe is beige or beige/white combo. YRMV
